So, my coworkers were telling me that holiday involving fireworks is coming up again very soon. Therefor, I feel the need to say a few things because I predict the clinic is already going to get a few nasty burn cases like last year.

Please refrain from using fireworks if you're drunk, do not launch them at each other, and for the Maker's sake, your body is not a suitable platform to shoot them off of.

She says a lot of stuff.  Some of it was bullshit; I know that know.  But she's my mom. It can't all be bull.

It can be hard to come to terms when a parent hasn't proved trustworthy.

[germhating_hypochondriac]

She only did the stuff she did to keep me safe.

[He's already smelling a rat.]

If you don't mind my asking, what exactly did your mom do that was, ahem, bullshit?

[germhating_hypochondriac]

She told me I was sick and weak and had asthma and allergies.  I got tested here and the only allergy I have is cashews.

[rebelhealer]

...And she said she did this to keep you safe?

[He sounds rather beside himself.]

[germhating_hypochondriac]

Yeah.  My dad got sick and he died.  She didn't want to lose me too, so she made me think I was too sick to do anything that could be dangerous.

[rebelhealer]

That's... not right.

[germhating_hypochondriac]

She was trying to protect me.

[rebelhealer]

By making you think you had a medical condition?

[germhating_hypochondriac]

Yeah. [His voice gets softer.] I think maybe she was sick.

[rebelhealer]

I think you may be right.
